 Kuala selangor
even before kelang become the capital city of selangor, kuala
selangor was the home of the selangor sultanate. Two fortresses
were built on the hills overlooking the estuary of the selangor
river in order to guard the city. The largest of the two, standing
on bukit melawati, is now the royal mausoleum containing the
remains of selangor's early bugis rulers. bukit melawati overlooks
the kuala selangor nature park, which is being jointly developed by
the state government and malayan nature society. It consists of
more than 250 hectares of coastal land, most of it mangrove swamp,
and contains about 130 species of birds. An estimated 100,000
wading birds, comprising 30 odd species, pass through here on their
annual migration. Artifical lakes have been created to attact some
of these birds, and observation hides have been built to allow
visitors to watch the birds without disturbing them. Leaf monkeys
can also be seen in the mangroves. |
